this part aged very well unfortunately
text in >> << is highlighted in the screenshot: Delbanco avoids the worst excesses of the jeremiad by putting some of the blame for the decline in English Ph.D.s on matters outside the control of English departments, like a “dead end” job market that justifies graduate students in regarding their duties as “exploitation.” >>The state of the humanities, sad or not, cannot be abstracted from the much larger story of our society’s refusal to fund adequately research projects and institutions that aim at its own long-term interests. Scientists as well as humanists suffer from the pursuit of short-term profit at all costs.<< To pretend that literature and its critics are unique victims is to indulge in a sort of literary identity politics.

Mr.Madison, what you've just said...is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent response, were you close to anything, that could considered a rational thought, everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

The number one movie at the box office on your 10th birthday is how 2025 will turn out for you.

I loved this movie when I was that age

don't have the bench one but here's the ARPANET one:
historical marker with the following text: The ARPANET, a project of the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, developed the technology that became the foundation for the internet at this site from 1970 to 1975. Originally intended to support military needs, ARPANET technology was soon applied to civilian uses, allowing information to be rapidly and widely available. The Internet, and services such as e-mail, e-commerce and the worldwideweb, continues to grow as the under-lying technologies evolve. The innovations inspired by the ARPANET have provided great benefits for society.

Yeshayahu Liebowitz was right again unfortunately

He (an Israeli Jew) was also the person to coin the term "Judaeo-Nazi" - I am not Jewish and have historically been hesitant to compare the Nazis and Israel but I gotta be honest recent events have made it harder to ignore
The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews the administrators, inspectors, officials, and police—mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret-police state, with all that this implies for education, free speech and democratic institutions. The corruption characteristic of every colonial regime would also prevail in the State of Israel. The administration would suppress Arab insurgency on the one hand and acquire Arab Quislings on the other. There is also good reason to fear that the Israel Defense Forces, which has been until now a people's army, would, as a result of being transformed into an army of occupation, degenerate, and its commanders, who will have become military governors, resemble their colleagues in other nations
